The elegance of the writing and the charm and beauty of the colour illustrations make The Lives of the Prophets a memorable book. The author bases the stories of the prophets, from Adam's expulsion from paradise to Noah and his ark, the trials of Job and Joseph's dream, as well as the stories of all the other prophets culminating in Muhammad's ascent into Heaven, on traditional Islamic sources and in particular on what is revealed in the Quran. Though written primarily for children between the ages of 9-12, the power and beauty of each story cannot fail to entrance and move readers of all ages, making The Lives of the Prophets a book not just to be read but to be treasured.
Leila Azzam is the co-author of the best-selling The Life of the Prophet Muhammad.
